  abstract     = {{For some time now, scholars and other critics have warned for a decline in the quantity and the quality of international news coverage in almost all Western societies. Investigating international news in three Flemish newspapers between 1986 and 2006 and interviewing journalists on the issue, this Working Paper tends to moderate these accusations of a fast and increasingly shrinking international news agenda. Despite a gradual decline in the 1990s, we observed a fairly steady percentage of 15.5% over a period of twenty years, notwithstanding occasional peaks and lows due to exceptional news events. The quality newspapers De Morgen and De Standaard devoted considerably more attention and space to international news as compared to the more popular Het Laatste Nieuws. Nonetheless, international news reporting in all Flemish newspapers displayed several biases in terms of geographic and thematic diversity. The data support the claim that the newspapers in the sample reproduce a certain world order, characterized by Eurocentrism. Although we observed a shift to more human interest and entertainment-oriented stories, international news coverage still mainly deals with hard and negative news.}},
